  Waterplan provides a SaaS platform powered by artificial intelligence models that combines satellite imagery, real-time climate change data from public and proprietary sources, and private company information to measure, respond and report on changing water risk. The platform is used by corporate customers including ABInBev, AWS, Danone, Diageo, Kurita, The Nature Conservancy and Sigma. The company plans to use new capital to accelerate research and product development, advance the science in water risk management, and innovate on its product platform to improve customer experience. Waterplan also intends to expand its presence across the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia. The company is led by CEO Jose Ignacio Galindo and recently added Adeyemi Ajao of Base10 Partners to its board. Its most recent financing brings its total capital raised to date to $18.5M. Waterplan is a B2B SaaS platform that harnesses artificial intelligence to analyze climate data models and water data to identify water supply vulnerabilities and quantify associated financial risks. The platform enables companies in water‑reliant industries—agriculture, food and beverages, paper products, and apparel manufacturing—to monitor water security, conserve water, protect waterways from pollution, and proactively prevent supply disruptions. Founded in 2020 and a participant in Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 cohort, the company’s leadership includes CEO José Ignacio Galindo, CSO Nicolas Wertheimer, COO Olivia Cesio, CPO Matias Comercio, and Chief Scientist Jay Famiglietti. Waterplan has helped measure, mitigate, and adapt to water risk for 10 Fortune 500 companies, including Coca‑Cola, Colgate, and McCain Foods. In April 2022 it closed a $7.0M seed funding round. The new capital will be used to grow the team and to refine and improve the product and customer experience as the company pursues a water‑secure world. Waterplan is a SaaS platform that analyzes and tracks corporate water risk and potential mitigation strategies for climate-conscious companies. The founders—Jose Galindo, Nicolas Wertheimer, Matias Comercio and Olivia Cesio—built the company after years in the environmental sector and went through Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 cohort. Waterplan distills satellite imagery (canopy, water bodies, multi-year trends) and combines it with measurements from water and environmental authorities to produce location-specific risk analyses. Its product automates work typically done episodically by environmental consultants, turning large data inputs into predictive risk and mitigation outputs tailored to a company’s local context. The company plans to ramp development by hiring engineers and hydrologists to expand the platform and make its insights more widely available after gaining traction with private customers. Financially, Waterplan closed a $2.6 million seed round to fund development and go-to-market efforts.
